Everything was super about Sam and her apartment. The location, while out of the city, is close enough for you not to miss out on anything, and far enough to give you a bit of reprieve.
Don’t miss out on the neighbourhood though! Before you get in a cab every morning, make sure to make your way around and sample all the great food around here, I found a daily spot for breakfast jok (rice porridge), comforting boat noodles (as per Sam’s recommendation - see Guidebook) and nice bars with live music to have a few beers along students. It’s a great, lively and friendly neighborhood.
The apartment itself was lovely and airy, great bathroom and amenities (excellent aircon!!) and with a superb window seat.
Couldn’t fault it, and when I’m in Bangkok again, would definitely stay here again. Thanks Sam!
